Can I switch employers while on OPT?

Yes, you can change employers while on OPT, as long as the new job is directly related to your field of study and you update your information with the DSO at Lipscomb University. This ensures that your OPT remains compliant with U.S. immigration regulations.

What happens if I cannot find a job during my OPT period?

If you do not find a job within 90 days during your OPT period, you risk losing your work authorization. It’s important to keep your DSO informed of your employment status and to actively seek work in your field of study.

Can I apply for a work visa after my OPT expires?

Yes, after your OPT expires, you may apply for a work visa, such as an H-1B visa, if you have a job offer in the U.S. The H-1B visa allows you to work in the U.S. in a specialty occupation for a longer period. However, the H-1B visa application process is competitive, and you must meet the eligibility requirements.
